COUNTY EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE ) OP YOUNG MEN'S CHRISTIAN AS'NS, > Edgefield, S. C., July 18. ) To thc Young Men's . Christian As sociations of Edgefield. County, andtheffiendsoftheicorfc: DEAR BRETHREN : * . The fourth. County Convention Will rxTheld at Good Hope Baptist . Church on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday,--August 18ihj l9th, and 20th. More than three years have pass ed since the inception of this work, . and as we look over the field to day we are deeply gratified at the measure of Buccess which has at l tended it. Almost, every town and commu*nity in the county has felt its.influence. Strong associations have been planted atreven points, .while^Young Men's Prayer Meet ings and Bible classes have sprung up here and there, piesenting the movement in every stage of its development. Probably there is no other county containing so many Young Men's Christian Associations, and yet under the present system there must be room for at least fifty. As this is the oldest county work in existence; there are yet many problems unsettled^and hence this convention will be of great inter est and importance. Every Association in the county is urged to send a large delegation of active members. Ministers of tho' Gospel and members-of even gelical churches everywhere are given, a cordial invitation. All the sessions of the conven tions will be open to the public. From the programme soon to be issued, it will be seen that the va rious subjects will be discussed by many of our ablest men at home and abroad. The prayers of God's people are asked in behalf of this gathering. Fraternally, A. S. TOMPKINS, Edgefield. JAS. T. BACON, A. J. NORRIS, " A. B. WATSON, " J. W. HILL, " W. E. LYNCH, " GEO. B.

The first English laws agaisnt counterfeiting were issued in 1108 by Henry I. In 1844 Napier's coin-weighing machine was put in use in the Bank of England. In the fifth century beforgChrist refined copper was deemed as precious as gold. The trade dollar was intended for use; in commerce with China, India and Japan. ^ .' The first American coins were made in England in 1612 for the Virginia company. The first English gold coins were minted in 1257, in the forty second year of Henry III. In 1631 the invention of milling the edges of coins, to prevent clipping, was introduced. At the begining of the Christian era the relative values of gold and silver were as 1 to 9. .

"Talk about spurs to effort 1" said a man of family. Why, Mess your heart, there is nothing, not rivalry, nor ambition, nor pov erty, that can so spur a man as the necessity of providing for a grow ing boy. Take my oldest boy, for instance. He's 14 and as tall as I j leaner, but apparently with much less machinery and vastly j more' cargo space. He comes in eager with exercise, and sings out: "What is there in the house to eat? "They set it before him and he eats, and positively ii makes me ?mile to look at him. I need no other spur to effort than this. I know that if I am going to find food foi th i s growing boy I haye" got to get out and hustle." He Still.Lives. Gen. Forrest, during the late war, was once approached by an Ar kansas man, who asked : "General, when do reckin' we're goin' to get something to eat?" . "Eat!" exclaimed the General; "did you join the army merely to get something to eat?" "Wall, that's about the size of it." "Here," calling an officer, "give this man something to eat, and then have him shot." . "The officer understood the joke, and replied : "All right; General." The Arkansas man, exhibiting no alarm,'said : "Bile me * ham, cap'n, stew up a couple o' chickens, bake two or three hoe-cakes, fetch a gallon o' so (? buttermilk, and load y?r guns. With sich, inducements, the man what wouldn't be willing to die is a blame fool." A hearty meal was prepared for the soldier, but he still lives.
